a Prior to FY 2016, expenditures for industrial and manufacturing engineering were reported under engineering, nec and mathematics and statistics.
b Johns Hopkins University includes the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), with $1,005,077 thousand imputed for total R&D expenditures in engineering in FY 2017. Total expenditures by field for Johns Hopkins University are flagged as imputed because APL was unable to distribute a portion of institutionally funded R&D by field.
NOTES: FY 2016 R&D expenditure amounts in various fields may show increases or decreases from amounts reported in FY 2015 because of the reclassification of disciplines. See the FY 2016 Technical Notes, Appendix A (https://ncsesdata.nsf.gov/herd/2016) for specific details about discipline changes. Institutions reporting zero expenditures in ranked total for FY 2017 are not listed in this table. Tied institutions are ranked alphabetically. Ranked institutions are geographically separate campuses headed by a campus-level president or chancellor. Some campuses are part of large, multi-campus universities; some are part of state university systems. For a complete list of campuses that belong to a larger university or system and their aggregate R&D expenditures, see table 6.
